The Proclamation did not compensate the owners, did not outlaw slavery, and did not grant citizenship to the ex-slaves (called freedmen). It made the eradication of slavery an explicit war goal, in addition to the goal of reuniting the Union.
1 Puppy mills are dog breeding operations that put profit over the health and well-being of the dogs.  Puppy mills may be large or small. They may be licensed by the United States Department of Agriculture or unlicensed.
Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Virginia passed puppy mill laws in 2008, and 10 states passed laws in 2009 to crack down on abusive puppy mills. In 2010, Missouri voters passed Proposition B, the Puppy Mill Cruelty Prevention Act, which establishes minimum standards of humane care and limits breeders to 50 intact dogs.
